[@cm3637]

He can't find a band with the work ethic he has man. He is dedicated to the fullest.

[@DROWXXI]

Chaz M no kinda it but not fully.

[@ChazOfGod]

declairWAR595 I dont mean to be negative, i just feel that for him to commit to a band is going to take some real professionals, understandably so..

[@Demiurge66]

ChazOfGod he left Chelsea grin to peruse his own endeavors he can totally be in a band if he wanted to.

[@ChazOfGod]

Vanish EditZ he left chelsea grin because they suck.

[@stephentyree9296]

That's not why he left. It was a mutual split according to both parties. They wanted to pursue a more traditional deathcore sound, and Jason wanted to this.

[@Knosferatu]

This guy is a genius.

[@mrmisterman999]

a genius? lol not even

[@marcstanford5857]

Knosis of boredom.

[@cremejockey8636]

actually 30 year old half and half from new york. nigga! own appartment too. lemme know when you need that tuition check sent out to the jelly school.

[@dhanushprasad6715]

So you're a suburban white kid too misterman Cuz if I remember clearly You called me a sand nigga in the other video How hypocritical xD

[@dhanushprasad6715]

And lol Chris just shit on you

[@gioledda145]

I don't think I've seen another guitarist who can play such insane music so flawlessly, so consistently. Sick.

[@Magmoormaster]

Breaking Damnation is easily my favorite song of the album. I always wanted to see him play it.

[@vugolol]

Woah, he actually plays Jacky Vincent's part on Breaking Damnation in this, awesome! Usually when I see guitarists play through a guest solo they just improvise something else, but he actually tried to get as close to the recording as possible, and that is really cool.

[@CinefactsID]

that titan solo part is not for a mortal

[@darksunabove8595]

Watching Jason play guitar gives me high blood pressure he looks so tense!

[@DROWXXI]

Steven Wood he said he does have a bad problem of tension when I got VIP with him at a BoO show

[@dylanedwards2056]

Fact: Jason puts more effort and bravado into his chugging than every fraternity that's ever existed combined...get it...chug...tehe

[@finley490]

My eyes have carpal tunnel.

[@LarsBauer74]

awesome! Thanks a lot for posting this, Jonathan. much appreciated!

[@mattiamarculli5984]

i see hands on fire!! such a incredible performance Jason!

[@schectermartin69]

that titan solo is the most badass thing ive ever seen hes GOAT

[@mrmisterman999]

go watch jason becker and then come back and say that

[@rmdson9213]

MrMisterMan lol youre too much idiot kid. you cant even play guuitar. all you know is watch your boyband. so fuck off.

[@mrmisterman999]

played for 20 years kid so that assumption is wrong. Sorry that i triggered you in the basement, make sure to be quiet so mommy doesnt find out you're online again.

[@alexsharp3481]

MrMisterMan in no way am I saying that Jason Richardson is better, but anything Becker played, I'm positive that Richardson could could play. you may not like his music, but you can not deny his skill. without a doubt, he's one of the best guitarists of this era.

[@mrmisterman999]

i doubt it. Even marty friedman said becker could learn on the fly. His ability to master a style was uncanny and he could do it in such a small amount of time that he was pretty much a prodigy in the guitar community. Again im not saying jason has no skill or less talent than becker but you cannot deny that jason becker was above and beyond most guitarists, his only real competition was shawn lane who was also able to master styles and techniques easily and also played multiple instruments.

[@stevehogan8829]

Great looking guitar, wish I could hear him.

[@ranajoyshil]

Use headphones.

[@amisj2612]

MUSIC MAN JP15-7ST BFR Buckeye Burl Maple LTD that's the guitar Jason's using. And as far as I can tell you can only possibly get your hands on one from a Japanese website. The Music-Man website didn't even carry the color. Maybe it's a custom color that you just have to pay extra for. I don't know. I just thought I'd share the information for anyone who was curious about the guitar he was using.

[@ranajoyshil]

Sterling ball made that only for Jason.

[@arififtianto8465]

the audio quality is beyond amazing

[@TheBladeSephara]

Splendid!

[@hanamaulanasiregar4896]

awesome richard !!!!!

[@Babyassbeaver]

The new Master!

[@Prenner111]

This dude is really good.

[@lilikbagindasulaeman18]

Its so genius.. And good player guitar i like.

[@John-ki7zn]

this guy is super clean, it almost sounds fake, even on a camera recording audio from other sources around the room it seems.

[@Luis7Vazquez7]

Is this the guy that Tosin Abasi said is "annoyingly good"?

[@boblarry7879]

yes it is

[@Luis7Vazquez7]

After seeing some videos of Jason, I would say without hesitation that Jason Richardson and Tosin Abasi are probably the best guitar players in the whole fucking world right now

[@boblarry7879]

+Luis Calvo Tosin definitely is. Some have mixed emtions about Jason though. Im a drummer but I appreciate the talent .

[@Luis7Vazquez7]

Bob Larry Tosin is just a beast He can shred the shit out of his 8 strings and suddenly go to clean tone and also tap the shit out of his 8 strings Some can do that but the way Tosin writes the music is amazing

[@boblarry7879]

+Luis Calvo Yeah was just watching Tosins NAMM videos from last year.

[@alyusdickey9561]

uhhhh....life goals....

[@TheRhonachan]

Make me feels like im in a story of a world with dragons and nights

[@juansotillo4829]

Ohhh man...

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

they need to seal off those demo areas at namm, or schedule times or something.

[@matt1er912]

Anddddd I quit guitar this dude is insane

[@ritsu8072]

This is tighter than the G-string.

[@xthexadvantagex]

This should be a drum video. It very faintly sounds awesome though.

[@kenxinhxc1635]

fuck so good

[@nathanparrish7297]

God

[@MikaTarkela]

This guy kicks ass! I've never heard of him but this stuff is cool :D Too bad the mix is kinda muddy :/

[@alexsharp3481]

Mika Tarkela you can find his album Jason Richardson "I" on iTunes and google play. it's also available for streaming on KZbin.

[@TelestroArchive]

Robot-like precision

[@cordschannel]

what kind of guitar is that? that neck looks so thin for a seven! I want one

[@alexsharp3481]

Brad Ernie Ball JP-15. you won't be able to find it in that finish though. it's his own.

[@9ubagurbi6]

BANG YOUR FOOKIN HEADS!! \m/

[@333lordpj333]

here i see how a jp signature sounds like in heavy metal ... and it does djent!

[@The_Crooked_Path]

This isn't a JP. It's a cutlass that became his signature

[@sanyamsharmaGuitarist]

@@The_Crooked_Path Noo...it is a JP 15 with similar finish to his signature guitar.

[@jakelikesdjent1725]

@@The_Crooked_Path it’s a jp15 with a similar finish

[@jw-yo5lp]

is what he played on Spotify?

[@Hahvayz]

nah he said in a quote fuck spotify

[@jw-yo5lp]

awe like seriously I wanted this so badly

[@PvTNuclear]

hi ya just buy his solo album, its worth it 100%, spotify fucks over smaller artists

[@jw-yo5lp]

PvTNuclear thx didn't know I could get it on play store

[@edv7n]

It is now

[@terrypussypower]

Guitar playing as gymnastics. But where’s the musical content?

[@retrorewind6042]

Are you deaf?

[@Jitar1]

⁠Check out Omni if you think he has no musical content. A peak metal riff

[@mjw665]

Good right hand technique.

what guitar is it? i know its john petrucci series musicman but i cannot find any guitars like this online..

[@retrorewind6042]

Bejl just his custom jp15 i think

[@twiztidlife66]

Music Man jp15-7st bfr. It's Jason's custom model

[@lightinthedark33]

i can barely hear it

[@camu123789]

Someone please tell me which guitar that is!

[@webprog26]

Ernie Ball JP 15

[@camu123789]

and the name of the colour?

[@Jomplaaja]

Ties Jehoul i think thats his gustom colour of that jp guitar

[@alexsharp3481]

Ties Jehoul not sure about the color, but the wood used is buckeye burl

[@twiztidlife66]

Music Man JP15-7St BFR buckeye Burl maple. It's Jason Richardson's custom model, non production

[@vvallacx]

I almost don't hear his guitar

[@Matias022]

Look other lives

[@markopolo2224]

ehat

[@dannymcmince]

Bollocks!!

[@awheeler1385]

I love how he plays Mark Holcombs solo as if Mark Holcomb is a pathetic infant child trying to play guitar.

[@eduardo4683]

I love how his compositions and riff don't make sense compared to the Mark's compositions with genial chords and arrangements... Mark just don't need to shred to be better in my opinion

[@brothercartman]

i love Jason but he didn't nail that Mark solo at all...

[@cm3637]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@SuperRonnieRadke]

guessing he was the best guitarist there lol

[@123satanic321]

steve vai and john petrucci were there too, as well as jeff loomis.

[@SuperRonnieRadke]

yeah there where a ton of incredible guitarists there, didn't even realize that lol, Jason is still a fucking monster though!

[@SuperRonnieRadke]

I've got one of the black and red Syn Customs too, definitely my favorite guitar.

[@Droid96]

Raymond Solorio also Paul Gilbert

[@123satanic321]

HE WAS THERE? fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck i must have missed him :c

[@stevehogan8829]

What's that noise? Sounds like someone left their snow chains on.

[@mattphillips6345]

His drum tracks are always too loud and I don't know why. Wish I could just hear it better.

[@shonnythansurn]

Probably the backing tracks were too loud.

[@anne-clairev.497]

muhamad suicmez with tattoos....and younger

[@marcelocoto3245]

vilez anne claire You forgot to mention that Jason is way better

[@marcelocoto3245]

Johnny Soto I think it’s just a matter of taste. Muhammad is very good BTW

[@fender132435]

Muhammad can actually write music though

[@weinosby]

Can't hear the guitar sound

[@davidmace4353]

Drums and sweeps. Shame.

[@MrGoblyn]

Non si capisce un cazzo....non è musica è casino

[@bellmeisterful]

guitar is way too high. he wants it to be like hes sitting down all the time. 😂

[@florencep2209]

bellmeisterful That's very common among very technical players. Having your guitar hanging lower than your balls is handicapping yourself significantly.

[@Therysin]

Dr. Florence this guy probably plays bass

[@fender132435]

13:55 lmao if you're going to write music, make sure you can play it first

[@MarkyPaligs]

pretty sure dude's just tired.

[@rmdson9213]

cringe with what his doing after he played the song. he feels like he's too strong.

[@danielseale9636]

Rmd Son huh?

[@softlikesilk]

its not 2008. the measure of a good guitarist is not how many notes a second you can play. im sorry. i dont like it.

[@TerryMusic]

Masters of Non-Xistence funny cause he actually originally wrote the first song in 2008 lol

[@softlikesilk]

TerryMusic haha. well isnt that ironic. just cant get into it. just cant. great tone. great rhythm but the lead stuff is so much uber fret wanking it ruins it for me.

[@John-ki7zn]

Such an edgy comment.

[@williamschaffer2858]

Masters of Non-Xistence Please tell me more about how you have mastered sweep picking and sweep taps and have resorted to slower playing to better express your emotions. I sure as hell cant.... at least not right now but fuck dude. This guy is talented and his arpeggiated sequences and sweeps and shred sections are tasty af. Nothing against you personally but cmon man....

[@noir4659]

the many notes in a second thing... Jason could do that back when he was in high school with a emo looking haircut... What he does today is on a whole other level; you obviously didn't pay enough attention to this music if this comment is the first thing that came to your mind when you watch him play.
